Seismic and dredger propulsion orders

The contract with Myklebust Verft is for delivery of gears and CP propellers with control system for a new seismic vessel for Sanco Holding. The vessel will be delivered in the first quarter of 2014, and is of the Skipsteknisk ST324 design. The order exercises an option from a contract signed in June 2011 for the first vessel to be delivered June 2013. The Scana propulsion system is a diesel-mechanical twin screw system type EACG 115/TS1250, driven by 4x MAN 8L32/40 engines. Delivery is planned for first half of 2013.

Scana Propulsion says it has established a strong position as a supplier of advanced tailor-made propulsion systems for seismic- and larger offshore vessels, and is proud to be selected by Myklebust Verft and Sanco Holding.

The contract with Rong Tai Trading is for the delivery of an ACG 105/980H propulsion system consisting of a twin screw gear, propeller, tunnel thruster and control system, driven by two 14V32/40 diesel engines, with CPT 1,25D type tunnel thrusters. The equipment is planned for delivery in the first quarter of 2013. The vessel is a 10,000m3 dredger to be built at Jiangdong Shipyard in China. Scana Shanghai Trading will perform project follow-up and start-up of the system in China.

Scana says that in a market still characterised by low contracting activity and strong competition for the few contracts, it is of high importance to maintain its market share by achieving new orders. In the global perspective, offshore and specialised vessels show the highest activity in contracting, both segments representing a good potential for the entire Scana Propulsion product range.
